“Heeeere’s Johnny!”

Trivia by Wikipedia: Jack Nicholson’s line, “Heeeere’s Johnny!”, is taken from Ed McMahon’s famous introduction to The Tonight Show, starring Johnny Carson, and was improvised by Nicholson during the filming of Stanley Kubrick “The Shining”. The door that Jack chops through with the axe near the end of the film was a real door. Kubrick had originally shot the scene with a fake door, but Nicholson, who had worked as a volunteer fire marshal, tore it down too quickly. It’s an iconic scene from one of the greatest terror movies ever made.
